| Additional information |
Strasburg in der Uckermark — not to be confused with Strasbourg in Alsace — was a small Brandenburg town authorized to issue emergency iron coinage during World War I as the German imperial monetary system buckled under wartime metal requisitions. These municipal Notgeld pieces were produced because copper and nickel had been diverted entirely to the war effort, leaving local authorities to fill the gap with whatever ferrous stock was available. Iron corrodes readily, which means survivors in collectible condition are genuinely scarce despite originally high mintage figures.
